Beekeeping: Swarm Mechanics
Swarming is a natural process that every beekeeper, no matter their level of experience, must learn to manage. It’s how honey bee colonies reproduce and expand. When a colony grows too large for its hive, a "swarm" consisting of the old queen and 50–60% of the worker bees—leaves to find a new home.
But did you know that the swarming process begins waay before the bees actually leave? Hank Harrison will break down the key signs of an impending swarm, and will walk us through proactive steps to manage and prevent swarming, so you won’t find yourself helplessly watching your bees leave you.
This session is packed with practical advice to help you better understand swarm behavior and maintain healthy colonies.
